Basically, I wanted to make a rocker plate for myself with a smooth, natural feel and then I wondered if I could design it in such a way that I could ship it easily as a kit. Along the way I added forward/back rolling motion as well, and this is where it is now. The kit design allows me to keep shipping and labor costs down and focus on max functionality and a way for you to get the benefits of a more natural ride on the trainer at an accessible price. For me, there's no way I'd ride on a static trainer again. This is way, way better.
Recent updates and tweaks: Forward/back motion now, about 3 1/2” of smooth rolling action—combined with the side to side rocking which remains unchanged. Platform is a bit bigger now, measuring 27" front to back, and 36 3/4" side to side. I've put Saris H series on it, Wahoo Kickr and Kickr Core, TACX Neo 2T/3T, Zwift Hub has been used. Happy to check measurements with you, in fact I insist...together we can do everything possible to make sure it's going to work before it goes out the door.
